Chapter 1 The Creature
- In a dynamic world, where different known species existed, which were:
- The Werewolves: a species of humans who had the ability to shapeshift into wolf-like creatures, mostly under the full moon. They were stronger and faster, and more ferocious than regular wolves. They had supernatural abilities, like enhanced senses or power to control other animals. At a certain age, every werewolf was connected to their fated mate or chosen mate.
- Vampires: these species were immortals, bloodsucking creatures with supernatural strength. They had the healing ability, and were also known for their speed. They could only be killed by special methods, such as sunlight, cutting off their heads, or a wooden stake through their hearts. Not forgetting their pale skin, and fangs. They also had the ability to hypnotize or seduce humans.
- Humans: a well-known species, they were primates characterized by their posture, ability to use complex languages and tools. Their varieties of skin tones cannot go unnoticed. Their hair and eye colors also describe who they were. They were known for their diverse traditions and cultures. With a complicated social structure.
- Witches: hmmm, these species were rare but unique. I would tell you a little I knew about them. They were people who practiced witchcraft or magic, often using charms, spells, and potions. They were divided into the good witches and the evil witches. Their powers come from a variety of sources, including nature, supernatural beings, and deities. They had the ability to transform into animals, fly on broomsticks, and curse or spells. Like what you mostly see in movies.
- The Were-Pires: How do I describe this? I would say, they are not a known species. They only existed as a result of a sexual activity between a werewolf and a vampire. I mean, they are birthed by a werewolf and a vampire coming together. They are very powerful because they have the abilities of both werewolves and vampires. And we have just one of its kind.
- All these different species lived in their different territories and didn't cross paths because they were enemies. Aside from the witches who were neutral.
- I want to walk you through the story of a werewolf girl who was wrongly killed in the 15th century, and reincarnated as a human girl in the 21st century. But with a different face. She had a lot of prices to pay for the gift of a second life. These prices can either be a curse to her or a blessing. Oh, before I forget… Her name was Aria Grayson.
- While on the other hand, was a cursed Immortal, who found himself between the werewolves and the vampire world. He was the only existing species of his kind; the were-pires. He was born of a werewolf father and a vampire mother. His name was Lucas.
- Lucas and Aria found themselves in an Intertwined relationship. And then it all begins.
- Chapter one
- Human’s world;
- Aria’s feet darted through the woods, and her lips parted, lost in gasp. Her trembling eyes sprinted through every corner of the woods, looking for a safe place.
- A branch caught her leg, sending her crashing to the ground, her lips letting out a scream “Please.. someone help me!” She cried, her body fluttering as her heart pounded in her chest.
- She could hear the footsteps behind her, getting closer with every second that passed. Her battering heart increased as her eyes met the scary men in black suits in front of her, each with a wood In their hands.
- “So, this is the distance your feet could carry you to, my dear, little daddy’s girl.” A gangster mockingly said and the rest of the gangsters maliciously laughed.
- “Please, If you need money, I can give you a lot of it. Just spare my life… I beg of you.” Aria cried out.
- “This whore thinks she can buy us with her Daddy's money…. Stupid.” Their leader mentioned and they all laughed.
- Aria made to utter a word, but the swinging woods of the gangsters, which swung forward to her face, made her heart skip in fear, causing her to collapse.
- A low growl suddenly filled the air, the gangsters sprinted their eyes at every corner of the woods in fear. They felt a super speed pass behind them, and a creature stood in front of them. Its eyes burned up in red, and its fangs sparkled as it thrust forward, snarling and slashing. Its claws stretched out.
- The gangsters froze in fear, as the creature pounced on their leader, slashing him in half, and his blood splashed on the faces of the others. They tried to run, but the creature was too fast, its claws tearing through their fleshes, painting the atmosphere red. In a few seconds, the creature sucked the life out of all the gangsters.
- The scary creature walked up to Aria, gently scooped her up, cradled her in his arms, and darted away.
- *****
- Werewolves’ World;
- Aria’s eyelids blinked open, a sudden skip hit her heart as her eyes noticed the unfamiliar room.
- The room was made of luxurious surroundings dressed in rich fabrics, ornate furniture, and a dissolute plush bed. Nothing of which she could remember.
- Aria sat upright, her eyes uncontrollably scanning the room, but halted at a muscular body, gray eyes, chiseled nose, strong jaw, high and angular cheekbones, 6 feet tall man, who stood naked in front of the bed. His erected huge c**k that pointed right at her, made her scream and fearfully crawl to the edge of the bed.
- The man walked up to her, his face emotionless. Aria raised her trembling hand, hiding her face from him. He sank his knees on the bed, held her wrist, pulled her hand from her face then slanted forward. “MATE.” He spoke. His deep voice came out so perfectly. He wrenched his face on her neck, his nose sniffing through it.
- Aria felt his warm breath and her body froze in fear.
- He stared at her face in confusion, “You are human,” gazing right into her eyes, “Do you feel our Mate Bond?”
- Aria instantly shook her head, “I- I don't know what you are talking about, please just let me go,” her face lowered in fear.
- His face contorted into a scowl, “The Moon Goddess must be playing tricks with me. Why give me a useless human as my mate?” Letting go of her wrist. He moved away from the bed, picked up his clothes, and threw them on his body.
- Aria's rapid breathing started decreasing, as she saw he was no more naked. Then she felt a little comfortable. “Please, how do I go home?” Her voice came out calm.
- He sat on a couch closer to the bed, his eyes fixed on her. “You don't like your new home?” He mentioned, giving her an awkward smile.
- Aria’s eyes widened in surprise seeing a faint smile on his face, and suddenly she noticed how good-looking he was. But she needed not to be distracted. “Why did you bring me here?” She frowned.
- “I’ve been looking for you for centuries. I found you in the woods and brought you to our home.”
- She pointed a finger to herself, “Searching for me?… Our home?” Suddenly, she busted out in laughter, everything he said sounded funny to her ears. “Now, I understand what is going on. You’ve mistaken me for someone else.” She smiled.
- He softly shook his head in disagreement in response to what she said.
- She awkwardly laughed, staring right at him, “See, Mr strange..”
- “Lucas! My name is Lucas, not stranger.”
- She whiffed, “Ok, Lucas. I now understand everything you are saying. Yes, I am the one... What do you call it again? MATE..” she said, her feet slowly coming down from the bed.
- Lucas slightly raised his brow, “Do you feel the mate bond?”
- She nodded her head in agreement, “Yes, I do.” Her feet suddenly felt the floor, she stood up in a hurry and made to run. He grabbed her waist in an instant and pinned her to the wall, holding her hands up tightly.
- Aria’s heart raced faster. A faint smile curled on her lips as she felt how strong and fast he was. “I think he is from the military.” She thought to herself, her heart still pounding rapidly.
- Lucas bent forward, “You only run when I want you to.” He coldly said.
- “F**king let me go!” The echo of her voice could be heard in every corner of the wall.
- He mildly chuckled, stared at her lips, and brought his lips closer to hers.
- Aria squeezed her eyes in fear, “Don't do it please,” she uncontrollably shook her head, “Please stop it, I'm married.” Tears made her sight blurry.
- Lucas paused, his eyes darted back and forth as his brow furrowed in confusion. He let go of her, taking a few steps backward. His face lowered in frustration, “Leave,” he ordered her.
- Aria made to leave but halted, as her mind reminded her of the incident that led her to the woods.
- Early that day, Aria had gone to do some groceries but she noticed she’d forgotten her purse. She rushed back home but halted in shock as she heard her husband, Jasper conversation over a phone call.
- “I have just three days to complete my mission. I promise, I will make Aria take her last breath.” Jasper had spoken over the phone.
- Aria’s jaw dropped in shock, her ears couldn't believe what they’d just heard. Aria and Jasper had been married for nine months. However, no intercourse occurred. She’d told him she wanted to wait until she’d fallen in love with him. She’d promised her late parents that her virginity would be given to the man she loved.
- Her extended families were the ones who introduced Jasper to her and suggested she marry him. She was just recently made the chairperson of the HillStone Enterprise and the position requires her to be married.
- Aria, still lost in shock over her husband's conversation, tried to run away, but her feet stumbled, hitting a vase and causing it to smash on the floor. Jasper, who didn't notice Aria's presence at first, darted his eyes at her in surprise. But she suddenly fled.
- Aria had driven through the lonely road, wondering why her husband was also after her life. But suddenly she noticed some cars filled with gangsters, chasing after her car. She speedily drove, but her car got to a dead end. She packed her car, came down, and darted into the woods in fear, the gangsters chased after her.
- Aria brought back her mind to Lucas who just stood in a corner, his hands in his pocket. She’d known that stepping out, her life was in serious danger, and she could use his military position to her advantage.
- She walked up to Lucas, stared right into his eyes, “Please protect me.” She begged.
